With the rapid advancement of intelligentization and electrification in the automobile industry, the configuration of automobiles has been continuously upgraded, and the mode of operation is also constantly evolving. The configuration that was very common in the past cars is almost invisible in today's new cars. In a few years, perhaps few people will know or remember the "old configuration" that was once there.
Today we will take stock of the car configurations that are gradually being eliminated, and see how many you know?
Activate the shaker
Start a sweaty body, the key can defend itself, and now the person who knows the rocker must have exposed his age. I remember when I was a child, the liberation 212 in the family was equipped with a big key - a rocker. This kind of key to start the vehicle is really a hard job, relying on the speed to bring the engine up to complete the start. Under normal circumstances, one person can complete it, and in special cases, two adults are riveted and shaken, and they also need to sweat a little, which is cured of arthritis for many years. In addition, there is a way to use a rocker to assist while lighting a fire, which is very enjoyable.
Not only that, this way of starting is also more dangerous, in the process of starting the rocker rebound, commonly known as "back turn", it is very dangerous, in short, people who have played understand. With the advancement of technology, the rocker start method has basically been eliminated.
Hand cranked windows
Left three circles and right three circles, the glass can achieve lifting, which is a more primitive way of lifting and lowering the window, simple and rough, but also exercise hand strength. In the past few years, many low-end models still use this design, and now even if they are very cheap models, they basically use electric lift windows, as long as they can complete the operation with their fingers. Of course, with the advancement of automobile intelligence, many models can control the lifting and lowering of the window through voice, which is very intelligent and more convenient to operate.
Manually adjust the mirrors
For the configuration of manually adjusting the rearview mirror, everyone should be familiar with it, especially the small partner who got the driver's license through the Poussin coach car, one of the things that must be done on the car is to manually adjust the rearview mirror. This way of adjusting the rearview mirror is relatively primitive, adjusted by the pure mechanical lever mechanism in the car, and the adjustment requires skill, and if it is slightly more forceful, it will be over-adjusted. However, the simple mechanical mechanism, without the assistance of electronic systems, the cost is relatively low. Today's cars are basically electric adjustment mirrors, as long as you press a button.
Headlight wiper
In the past, automatic cleaning headlights with wipers were generally the configuration of luxury cars, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, porsche and some models were equipped. Like the working principle of the front wiper, the automatic cleaning headlight is after the front cleaning device sprays the cleaning liquid, and the small dust removal brush scrapes the dust and dirt on the headlights left and right or up and down to keep the headlights clean. Now the car headlight shape has become more complex and diverse, coupled with the upgrade of the light source, the headlight wiper is basically replaced by a high-pressure nozzle, and some models do not have the automatic headlight cleaning function.
Manual sunroof
Manual sunroof, as the name suggests, is a skylight that needs to be opened or closed manually. As you may know, the current models on the market are either low-equipped without sunroofs, or high-equipped with automatic sunroofs, and manual sunroofs are rare. With the advancement of technology, the sunroof has also become larger and larger, and the panoramic sunroof from the front to the rear of the car is very common. In addition, the control method of the sunroof has become more intelligent, and the opening or closing of the skylight can be controlled through voice.
Car door locks
For the car door lock this configuration should be familiar to everyone, press and pull the small switch on the door panel can control the door locking and unlocking. However, this kind of physical switch is not particularly convenient to operate, and now with the addition of electronic control systems, locking and unlocking only need to be lightly pressed on the door panel, some models have canceled the small switch erected on the door panel, and the entire door panel has become more simple.
Car antenna
Car antennas, also known as car antennas, are generally used for radios and radios on the car. In the past, the antenna on the car was very long, and it looked very abrupt when it was propped up. Now it's different, we can hardly see the long antenna on the road. In fact, the car antenna is not canceled, it is "camouflaged" in other ways, such as the "shark fin" at the tail of the car. In addition, some antennas are integrated into the rear window glass.
For the "shark fin" everyone should be familiar with, usually on the road also often see. "Shark fin" can not only be used in the same day line, but also increase the visual sense of movement of the vehicle and play a role in reducing wind resistance, which can be described as a lot of success.
At last:
Times are evolving, technology is advancing, and many of the previous mainstream configurations have been replaced with the advent of new technologies. Obviously, these configurations with the blessing of new technologies are indeed more convenient to use than the old configurations. In the future, the tide of intelligence and electrification is bound to bring more high-tech configurations, and the "new configurations" we are using now will also be replaced.
When grandpa, who is accustomed to driving an old car, sits in the new car of the eldest grandson, he is a little uncomfortable with getting started for the first time, and he needs to re-learn the new function buttons and adapt to the new car. Similarly, in a few more decades, our descendants will drive better cars and use more advanced configurations, that's for sure.
